Tips

history
The China Earthquake Administration (中国地震局) traces back to the aftermath of the 1966 Xingtai earthquake, formalised in 1971 as the State Seismological Bureau. Operates a national network of seismic stations and publishes official magnitude and intensity reports — the only authoritative voice on earthquakes within China.
